Cultivate Joy!

Hello My Friends!  I was able to get another card made today! 

It is finally raining here in TX! And we needed it!  Are yall getting any of this fabulous rain?

I made this card for Mary's color challenge over at Cardz TV.  I don't know why, but color challenges seem to be the hardest ones for me.  It seems like as soon as I'm limited to a certain color, I think of all these great ideas to use anything but the ones I'm supposed to!! haha!  does that happen to anyone else?

Mary picked some hard colors for this challenge!  Royal Blue, Deep Purple, Marigold, and Pale Gray ONLY!  We could use a tiny bit of black and white if we needed to.

The first thing that came to mind for me was Halloween!  Those are great Halloween colors!  So, naturally.....I made a card with flowers on it!  Hey guys...don't ask me how my brain works...it just does what it wants to. But I'm super happy with how it turned out! So, without further ado...
